Traditions.

Procopé & Hornborg was established in 1918 when senior lawyers Lars Hornborg and Hjalmar Procopé joined forces. The founding partners were actively involved in politics and various fields of business life. They played an essential role in the early stages of the Finnish Bar Association while also contributing to legislation for the legal profession in Finland.

The firm expanded and had by the 1970s achieved an established status as the legal counsel for a number of major Finnish and international companies. Building on our history and traditions, we continue to provide high-quality services that meet the expectations of our clients amidst a constantly evolving business environment.

We invest in expertise.

Our operations are guided by integrity, commitment and advanced processes. These principles outline both our daily work and the long-term development of our firm. We provide individualised services in the strictest of confidence.

Procopé & Hornborg provides a work community where people have opportunities to learn, thrive and achieve their full potential. We invest in the development of expertise and customer service. We educate our lawyers to become top experts who are highly versed not only in our own field but also the various branches represented by our clients. Our lawyers are equipped with the competence to successfully and independently recognise and resolve legal issues.

We provide legal expertise in all matters relating to intellectual property rights ranging, from planning our clients' IPR strategies to licensing and enforcing of rights. Our internationally experienced lawyers are specialised in copyright, design rights and trademarks. Through our network of patent professionals, we also assist clients in matters relating to patents.

We are experts in the rapidly developing media and entertainment law. We work together with technology and media companies, and assist leading film, music and game companies.

Competition law

We offer professional expertise in matters related to competition law across all sectors of industry, commerce and services. Our lawyers are experienced in, for example, competition-law litigating cases and administrative legal proceedings. We advise our clients in issues concerning merger control, cartel investigations, assessments of dominant position and its abuse, information exchange between competitors and joint ventures, and assist in any affairs with the competition authority. Our lawyers are also knowledgeable in drafting distribution agreements and setting up distribution channels.

We prepare competition compliance policies for our clients and educate their personnel accordingly. We also assist our clients in internal audits related to competition law.

Public procurement

Our experts assist clients in matters concerning all areas and process phases related to state aid and public procurements. Legal counselling pertaining to, for example, public competitions and procurement agreements is an important part of our services.

Procopé Private

We provide individual services to private persons, families and their companies. Our lawyers are experienced in family and estate law, private wealth management, strategic planning, tax law, real estate and housing transactions law, as well as in associations and foundations law.

Our aim is to ensure that you and your family's affairs are managed reliably at all stages of your life and that you have constant access to a legal expert privy to your objectives and interests. We also act as estate administrators and estate distributors, and assist in legal proceedings.

Financing

Due to changes and increased regulation within the financial market, new and innovative financial products have emerged alongside the traditional bank financing. Procope & Hornborg’s specialists combine the latest methods and solutions with decades of experience from the financial market. We assist our clients in all finance sectors, including international syndicated loans, bond issues, ECP and MTN Programs, convertible bonds, other hybrid loans and structured finance products, private placements, and group financing.

We also advise our clients with financial restructurings and work-outs.

Dispute Resolution

We handle both domestic and international legal disputes in different courts and in arbitration, and act as mediators to settle disputes out of court. We have been involved in some of the largest legal proceedings in Finland regarding damages and other liability matters.

Employment Law

Businesses and organisations are constantly faced with various aspects of employment law. Finding the right solutions is critical, as misguided decisions often result in liability for damages and thus increased costs. Achieving the best results requires a thorough knowledge and continuous monitoring of national and international employment law.

We advise our clients in all matters across the employment law spectrum. Our team regularly supports employers in HRM issues by, for example, drafting agreements, navigating through cooperation negotiations, managing national and cross-border restructuring, and handling disputes. Our goal is to deliver sustainable solutions that serve our clients in the best way possible.

Our employment law team is part of the European Employment Group, a network of European experts.

Transactions

We provide legal expertise across the whole spectrum of M&A transactions. We help our clients find the best solution in each individual corporate transaction. Our lawyers are experienced in handling demanding M&A projects. Our lawyers are also involved in providing the due diligence work and expertise in supporting the transaction, and do so even in instances where other international law firms are handling the legal documentation.

We also assist clients in international and cross border M&A transactions.

We have extensive experience of corporate liability issues and corporate governance. We also create compliance programs to help clients develop and implement plans and procedures that comply with laws and regulations, as well as with ethical and liability requirements.
